Mates of State — the husband-and-wife duo of Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel — delivered one of their most ambitious and fully realized works with Bring It Back. Originally released in 2006 on Barsuk Records, the album marked a notable evolution in their sound, showcasing their fullest, most expansive songwriting to date while retaining the warm, energetic indie rock charm that defined their earlier work.
Bring It Back was recorded across sessions at Firehouse 12 in New Haven, CT and Atlantic Sound in Brooklyn, NY, and mastered at the Lodge in Manhattan — a production process that lends the record a rich, carefully crafted sound. Highlights like "Think Long," "Fraud In The '80s," and "Like U Crazy" capture the duo at a creative peak, making this a worthwhile addition for fans of the band and enthusiasts of early-2000s indie rock.
